What Is Paralysis?
Paralysis is medically defined as the loss of function of one or more muscles groups. When a person experiences paralysis, he/she will lose feeling in the affected area. This loss of feeling may be temporary or it may be permanent.
For most people suffering from paralysis, the paralysis was caused by or related to either a brain injury, spinal cord injury, or some sort of neurological disorder. Once paralysis sets in, it may stay within a certain muscle group, or migrate to other regions. This is common for people who are suffering from quadriplegia, triplegia, or paraplegia.
Causes of Paralysis
Temporary and permanent paralysis can result from a variety of medical conditions, which may include, but are not limited to:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Stroke
- Head trauma
- Spinal bifida
- Multiple sclerosis
- Nervous system disorders
- Neurological disorders

Your Tampa paralysis injury attorney should not only know Florida bodily injury law. That lawyer should also have years of experience handling brain and spinal cord injury cases. Scott Distasio has been handling these cases for over 27 years. His years of experience investigating, negotiating, settling, filing lawsuits, taking depositions, and going to trial will absolutely make a difference in your case.
Independent Verification of the Lawyers Ability

But you will only know the truth about that lawyer if the lawyer is rated by respected independent non-biased rating systems. Scott Distasio has an “AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell law Directory. This is the highest rating an attorney can receive for both ability and ethics. Scott Distasio is also Board Certified by the Florida Bar in Trial law.

This gives him the right to call himself an expert trial lawyer.
